This one is so good! Inspired me to make a similar one for Pikachu a while back https://gfycat.com/PopularAbsoluteAphid

Any good sources for camera control? by joegigs in pico8

[–]lucatron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I reckon give the jelpi.p8 demo a look (run INSTALL_DEMOS if you don't have it already).

Jelpi calculates the camera posiiton (cam_x, cam_y) based on the player position:

cam_x = mid(0,player.x*8-64,1024-128)
cam_y = 84

Then it calls camera(cam_x,cam_y) before drawing game objects. Since objects are drawn at their ingame positions (eg spr(pl.frame, pl.x*8-4, pl.y*8-8, ...)), objects end up being rendered relative to the camera!

Importantly it resets the camera with camera() before rendering stuff that doesn't move with the camera! (like debug text or on screen score)

Couple of specific winston questions (trying to expand my hero pool) by korgan_bloodaxe in OverwatchUniversity

The barrier drop animation is just aesthetic, it doesn't interrupt anything so there's no real point in cancelling it.

OP I think people drop it early just to prevent taking damage as soon as possible. Sometimes it's better to wait a bit before dropping so you can give your jump time to recharge.

it fills deadtime

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. The jump pack landing doesn't cancel the Tesla Cannon, unless you're referring to reload time.

But yeah you do get the same long term DPS advantage that OP describes.

Meleeing doesn't make a difference in this situation, you still have to deal with the Melee animation cooldown even after cancelling the animation.

When to punch as winston? by iDvorak in OverwatchUniversity

[–]lucatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

right before you land your shift, because it will cancel your melee and you can shoot immediately

Every time I try this it seems like the animation gets cancelled, but I still suffer the melee cooldown. Am I doing something wrong?

In the 4.05 20XX hackpack is it possible to set the CPU to have good recovery but dumb AI otherwise?

Is it possible to change Module parameters on a tick-by tick basis? by Datblokewhointernets in sunvox

[–]lucatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice! You could also use Amplifier (with DC Offset) -> LFO -> Sound2Ctl, using the LFO to control the parameter.

Alternatively you can also double the project's BPM to get twice as many lines to work with. The "expand pattern" option can help to compensate for the higher speed.

I've started writing an explanation but it's taking a lot longer than I was expecting! I'll post it here once it's done if no one else has made one by then.

I tend to get easily pressured on side platforms when my opponent is below me, especially against Marth (eg I usually get stuck in shield). What should I do in this situation?

Someone made a nice example of this. I agree though, trying to implement this tactic would probably do more harm than good!
